概要

Pink Slip Pavilion is where layoff stories become power moves.

Inspired by lived experience with job loss and reinvention, this podcast shares real stories of women who have experienced layoffs and turned them into catalysts for growth, clarity, and bold career pivots.

Through honest interviews and thoughtful conversations, we explore what truly happens after the pink slip. We talk about identity shifts, confidence rebuilds, professional reinvention, and the mindset work that redefines what success can look like.

This is a space for resilience, possibility, and intentional next chapters.

Because a setback does not have to be the end of your story. It can be the beginning of something more aligned, more powerful, and more yours.

Welcome to the Pavilion.

  • From Layoff to Liftoff | Eileen Suarez

    Laid off. Job loss. Career uncertainty. Now what?

    If you have been laid off, fear a workforce reduction, or are navigating a career transition, this episode is for you.

    In Episode 4 of Pink Slip Pavilion, host Ashley Waddington speaks with leadership coach and learning & development professional Eileen Suarez about turning a layoff into a life-changing pivot.

    After spending more than two decades in financial services and later moving into learning and development, Eileen thought her career path was clearly mapped out. Then an unexpected layoff changed everything.

    Instead of shrinking into fear or rushing into the next job, Eileen chose a different path. She withdrew job applications, leaned into self-reflection, and made the courageous decision to pursue the coaching and leadership work she had always felt called to do.

    Her story is a powerful reminder that a layoff can become a “layoff to liftoff” moment when we choose to see it as an opportunity rather than a definition.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • What it actually feels like to receive the unexpected layoff meeting

    • The fear, uncertainty, and identity shift that follows job loss

    • Why layoffs often have nothing to do with your performance

    • The mindset shift that helped Eileen move from fear to possibility

    • The daily gratitude practice that helped her rebuild momentum

    • Why waiting until you're “fully ready” can hold you back

    • How layoffs can open doors to entrepreneurship and purpose

    • The power of networking and community during career transitions

    • Rebuilding confidence and creating a new professional identity

    If you are navigating job loss recovery, career reinvention, or professional rebuilding after being laid off, this conversation offers practical mindset shifts and honest encouragement.

    Eileen reminds us:

    You don’t have to have everything figured out. You just have to take the next step.

    Sometimes the moment that feels like the end of your career story is actually the beginning of the one you were meant to write.

    Nancy reminds us:

    It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to feel the hurt. And sometimes the first step forward is simply reminding yourself that you’re going to be okay.

    2026/02/25

    Laid off. Grief. Eight months pregnant. Now what?

    If you have been laid off, fear a workforce reduction, or are navigating a career transition, this episode is for you.

    In Episode 2 of Pink Slip Pavilion, host Ashley Waddington speaks with HR executive and end of life doula Mercedes about job loss, identity, and how surrender can become a survival skill.

    Mercedes shares her 2008 layoff story during the financial crisis. She was eight months pregnant, grieving the loss of her father, and was let go two weeks before Christmas with little to no severance. Shortly after, her husband was laid off too. In this conversation, she shares how she moved from panic and uncertainty to building a life and career that aligned more deeply with her values.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Experiencing job loss during a major life crisis

    • The reality of COBRA costs and healthcare stress after layoffs

    • Choosing surrender instead of self blame

    • Why your title is borrowed, not your identity

    • The “wave” metaphor and how to stop fighting what you can’t control

    • Rebuilding life after layoffs through micro moments of joy

    • Moving across countries and starting over without certainty

    • Applying 13 times to a dream company and handling rejection

    • Restarting a career at entry level and building a unique niche

    • The difference between intellectual understanding and embodied healing

    • How learning to feel your feelings changes everything

    If you are experiencing job loss recovery, career reinvention, or professional rebuilding after being laid off, this conversation offers perspective, grounded tools, and a reminder that your worth is not up for debate.

    Mercedes reminds us:

    Your worth is inherent. Your job is rented, not owned. And sometimes the only way through the wave is to stop fighting it and protect your head and your heart.
